Lynn Board of Health Meeting | May 5, 2026

The Lynn Board of Health meeting held on May 5, 2026, primarily addressed enforcement actions related to tobacco sales violations and property nuisance abatement. The board reviewed a compliance check violation against Ultra Variety for selling tobacco products to a minor, resulting in a $1,000 fine and a three-day suspension of tobacco sales. The store owner appealed to reduce the suspension, but the board denied the appeal and scheduled the suspension for May 7-9, 2026. Additionally, the board discussed a property on Waite Road with ongoing sanitary code violations and nuisance conditions, authorizing an order for the occupants to abate the nuisance within seven days, with the city authorized to intervene and recoup costs if compliance is not met. The meeting also included a motion to grant a 30-day extension for a tobacco license applicant to pursue a special permit with the city council, emphasizing this as a final extension under new regulations.
